Museum Guides
With so many things to do and see, it is difficult to cover the whole museum in one visit! To help teachers focus museum trips, Adler Education staff created standards-based guides designed around the museum's central themes. These guides are self-directed and will take you and your students or family on a journey through the galleries while calling special attention to science themes.
Due to the installation of new exhibits, certain exhibit components may be unavailable during your visit.
For each of the themes, we have developed guides for specific age and ability levels. Each level explores the same principals and concepts with varying degrees of difficulty and thought provoking questions. We encourage you to select ONE theme to help focus your trip. Choose the level based on your students' needs.
